I want to make 2 txt files which are as follows

txt1
[
Code:
37
38
39
40 and so on

txt2
Code:
0.34417
0.37000
0.39667
0.42750 and so on

Its reading the values against the copy mark <6011>, <7005>, <7007> in input file for txt1
and reading <6012>, <7006>, <7008> for txt2.

Any help is appreciated...

See if this works for you:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
mFlag='N'
rm -f mFile1
rm -f mFile2
while read mLine
do
  mC1=$(echo ${mLine} | cut -c1)
  mC6=$(echo ${mLine} | cut -c6)
  if [[ "${mC1}" = "<" && "${mC6}" = ">" ]]; then
    mTag=$(echo ${mLine} | cut -c1-6)
    if [[ "${mTag}" = "<6011>" || "${mTag}" = "<7005>" || "${mTag}" = "<7007>" ]]; then
      mFlag='1'
    else
      if [[ "${mTag}" = "<6012>" || "${mTag}" = "<7006>" || "${mTag}" = "<7008>" ]]; then
        mFlag='2'
      else
        mFlag='N'
      fi
    fi
  fi
  case "${mFlag}" in
    "1") echo ${mLine} >> mFile1;;
    "2") echo ${mLine} >> mFile2;;
  esac
done < mInp_File
sed 's/<....>/ /g;s/<..>/ /g;s/ 2$//' mFile1 | xargs | tr ' ' '\n' | egrep -i '[a-z/-]' > mFinal1
sed 's/<....>/ /g;s/<..>/ /g;s/ 2$//' mFile2 | xargs | tr ' ' '\n' | egrep -i '[a-z/-]' > mFinal2

try：

Code:
sed 's/2$//' file|
awk '/<[0-9]+>/{print $0;while ((getline line)>0) {if(line~/^<[0-9]+>/) {print "";printf line}else{printf line}}}' |
awk -F'>| +' '{$1=""}!/\./&&/[0-9]+</ {print |"grep -Eo '[0-9]+' > txt1"} /\./{print |"grep -Eo '[0-9]+[.][0-9]+' >txt2"}'
